Description: | The Jewish Cemetery in Golders Green was established in Hoop Lane. The first burial took place in 1897. The West London Synagogue of British Jews and the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Congregation own the Cemetery. The cemetery grounds are physically divided in two, so that the graves and prayer halls for each congregation are separate.
Just beyond lies Hampstead Garden Suburb, founded in 1907 following the ideology of Dame Henrietta Barnett. Henrietta and her husband wanted to create a beautiful environment where people from all classes of society could live as neighbours. Part of the plan was that 'from every part there shall be good views or glimpses of distant country'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Edwin Smith/RIBA Library | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities Home and Family | Temporal: | 1931-1970 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
